Here’s one quote from David Hume.
David Hume
David Hume (1711 – 1776) was a Scottish philosopher and historian, regarded as one of the most important figures in the history of Western philosophy and the Scottish Enlightenment.
“The admirers and followers of the Alcoran insist on the
excellent moral precepts interspersed through that wild and absurd performance.
But it is to be supposed, that the Arabic words, which correspond to the
English, equity, justice, temperance, meekness, charity were such as, from the
constant use of that tongue, must always be taken in a good sense; and it would
have argued the greatest ignorance, not of morals, but of language, to have
mentioned them with any epithets, besides those of applause and approbation.
But would we know, whether the pretended prophet had really attained a just
sentiment of morals? Let us attend to his narration; and we shall soon find,
that he bestows praise on such instances of treachery, inhumanity, cruelty,
revenge, bigotry, as are utterly incompatible with civilized society. No steady
rule of right seems there to be attended to; and every action is blamed or
praised, so far only as it is beneficial or hurtful to the true believers.[42]”
Yet, Obama "Rhubarb" Obama tells us:
“Islam has a proud
tradition of tolerance."
And, “Islam has always been part of America”
And, “Islam has always been part of America”
